Management, Psychology & Leadership

Understand and design complex decision-making processes

Leaders and decision makers rely on the ability to adopt different perspectives and combine current findings from the vast range of disciplines available. The Management, Psychology & Leadership program provides a philosophical and human sciences approach to economic issues. It is designed to expand the participants’ awareness of economic psychology aspects that are relevant to management. It further points out how they relate to the interaction with other people, organizations, and markets. An atmosphere of intellectual curiosity helps participants gain new insights and build a strong foundation to develop a sense of self-efficacy and achieve professional success.

Participants in this course learn how to take conscious and purposeful action in accordance with the overall strategy in an environment usually described as complex, chaotic, and indefinite. Individual reflection or reflection in pairs and groups give them the opportunity to reassess personal experiences and profit from the experiences of others. This also enables them to combine previous insights in a meaningful way.

Upon completion of the Certificate in Management, Psychology & Leadership program you will

understand the basic principles of information economics and their implications for the psychology of markets,

be familiar with philosophical positions as well as the different perspectives arising from the approaches of human sciences and systemic constructivism,

know different models for the analysis and explanation of the sometimes irrational behavior of consumers,

be able to reflect on your leadership responsibility in view of the increasingly important principles of corporate governance and ethics, and to adapt your management behavior accordingly.

This course is a high-quality training program specifically designed to provide executives, up and coming executives, and other decision makers, particularly in small and medium-sized businesses, with a practical guide on how to meet their professional challenges.

Your way to success

The Certificate in Management, Psychology & Leadership program is a part-time course of study based on a didactic concept tailored to the needs of professional decision makers.

The content of the course is divided into nine modules whose topics range from economic to philosophical and psychological issues, and also touch on the humanities. The modules are to be understood as the design elements of a large mosaic. Its value arises from the participants’ reflective ability. A special focus is thus placed on recognizing interrelations and gaining advanced insights by individual reflection or reflection in pairs and groups.

The certificate course includes 16 on-campus sessions. You should also plan extra time for completing five projects assigned as part of select modules and your final paper and exam.

The faculty includes researchers and experienced practitioners with proven expertise in their respective areas of specialization. Participants in the course will benefit from the combination of recent scientific findings and extensive practical experience provided by our team.
